NO has a rich history and has been around for a very long time.....

Lets face it,,, the whole Florida and gulf coasts are prone to hurricanes,,,, did anyone ask why rebuild after all the other devastating hurricanes?? Of course not....its obvious,,,, because its thier home!

We can expect storme like Katrina to increase in the future... and thats a fact. So will be rebuilding entire communities and cities... Its the price we pay for living on the coasts.
I'm sorry, I don't mean they should NOT rebuild, I just think when they do, they should try to put a plan in to keep this from happening again. I should have said they shouldn't rebuild UNTIL they have a plan in effect. Maybe some type of back up plan to keep the pumps working if the power goes out or reenforcing the levees or something. It would be easier to do it when the city is rebuilding than after it's rebuilt

The entire country would do well to look into a back up communication system to use in disasters. And also for getting everyone out and what to do with them if they have to be removed.

Let's face it, no one wants to go through this again. There just has to be a better way.
